Let me revisit something I talked about in the first hour. (12:00) Adam Silver had to respond to so many things happening right now in the NBA and the WNBA. Aspiration. The WNBA CBA negotiations. Kawhi Leonard. Cathy Engelbert. The All-Star Game. (24:00) Conor McDavid re-signed with the Edmonton Oilers. And he shocked everyone by taking far less money to do so. He was set to be a free agent after next season, but signed a 2-year extension for $25 million. Not per year. Total! (34:00) LeBron James is having another Decision. Nice. Can’t wait. Is it an ad deal? (40:00) We have another lawsuit in Cleveland. That’s what the new Browns stadium has become. (48:00) UEFA is mad.

Well, the biggest play in the Dodgers win yesterday when the Dodgers ran a wheel play where Muncy threw to Betts at 3rd to get the runner out on a bunt. Unreal! (18:00) The Brewers took a 2-0 series lead against the Cubs. Crazy! The Cubs jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first and the Brewers matched it in the bottom of the first! Vaughn 3-run shot.
